The Federal Government will contribute $9 million to the Regional Pacific Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) Hub to support Australia’s Pacific neighbours to assist them to respond to climate change challenges.
NDCs are commitments made by countries under the Paris Agreement to reduce emissions, adapt to climate change, and limit global temperatures.
The NDC Hub is a Pacific-led initiative that helps countries across the Pacific set and implement their NDC targets.
This latest contribution was announced by Federal Minister for Climate Change and Energy, Chris Bowen, at the Pacific Islands Countries Climate Change Ministerial Talanoa on 1 October 2024.
The contribution will help kick-start a new phase of the NDC Hub, as countries seek to submit new NDCs in 2025.
The NDC Hub has assisted 14 Pacific countries to access climate support since 2017. This support includes investment planning, low emissions strategy development, and emissions reporting.
